Thoughts on the meat of a feedback sandwich:
- Be a coach not a judge.
- Use "I Statements" that are fact, not opinion. (Tell the impact it had on you (I had a hard time hearing, I was distracted by, I was confused when, I found myself wondering,...). Avoid I felt, I think, My opinion is, I thought, ...)
- Don't fix the problem.
- Be specific.
- Conjunctions send mixed messages.

Fine tuning your conclusion would solidify your project, as it was clear that you knew a great deal about the app and its potential in the classroom. |
I was unclear when the presentation ended. |
| 2. |
You should refer to your actual app and demonstrate its features! |
A demonstration of the app would've helped me understand its features even better. |
| 3. |
However, I feel obligated to point out that I never actually saw your iBook. |
I was curious about the history of this app. |
| 4. |
My only feedback is there was still some Latin on the pros and cons page. |
I was confused by the Latin on the pros and cons page. |
| 5. |
If I had to make a suggestion, I'd say save the history of your app for later instead of first. |
I wasn't sure what your app was and so the history first was confusing to me. |
| 6. |
One tip I have that I observed after that the presentation "comes alive" if you show the app itself--you can try it out when we get the iPads back. |
For me, starting with the app gives a context for the rest of the information. |
| 7. |
One thing that could use work is engaging the entire audience, I felt like I was being ignored when I was standing right there for the entire presentation. |
I felt like I was being ignored when we never established eye contact. |
| 8. |
One thing you could do to make it come alive is to open that app briefly and show those factors personally. |
I wanted to see some of the factors personally in the app in order to gain a better understanding. |
| 9. |
However, your iBook wasn't as visually appealing as it could have been. |
your iBook wasn't visually appealing to me. |
| 10. |
One thing I would like to add is one way for faster navigation from app to eBook would be double tapping the home button. This will prevent the hassle of finding it and keep the people in a rush happy. |
I was distracted by the time it took you to get from the iBook to the app and back again. |
| 11. |
If I were you, I would work on the length. If you can add this length to your presentation, then you will be in fantastic shape. |
I would have loved to learn more details about the app. |
| 12. |
I think, however, that these images make up for the content. I believe you need more written about your app throughout the presentation. |
I didn't get all the information from the images in the iBook. |
| 13. |
I like that you showed the app at the end, but I thought maybe it would be useful to show it during the meat of your presentation as well. |
I was confused during uour iBook it would have been helpful for me to see the app during the meat of your presentation. |
| 14. |
Your presentation could use a little bit more clarity. |
